Part Smash Bros, part Final Fantasy, part sentient loot box, Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia is Square Enix’s latest foray into the mobile gaming market (as well as a valiant attempt to try make Latin words cool again.) All your favorite characters — Cloud, Squall, and Tifa — some of your less-favorite characters — Shadow, Yuffie, and Laguna — and even some of the characters you’ve probably never even heard of before — Rem, Firion, and the Onion Knight — join forces in a kind of Final Fantasy fantasy league to take down the forces of evil and save the world.

Fireblade Software's horror-tinged tale of piracy in an apocalyptic Age of Sea, Abandon Ship, has teased curious fans of nautical adventure for the better part of two years now. Its take on 17th century sea life, mixed with its picturesque art style and dusting of supernatural intrigue makes for a colorful take on the long-standing nautical sub-genre. Now the game has arrived on the shores of Early Access, so we land-lovers can finally dabble in it.

The Metal Gear Solid franchise was turned upside down with the release of The Phantom Pain in 2015. Three years later, it's going to be shaken back down to its core yet again, as Konami takes a big gamble on something completely different with Metal Gear Survive.

Path of Exile’s Bestiary League and content update is arriving on March 2, and it’s larger than almost all previous expansions. You’ll capture dangerous beasts, encounter new end-game foes, battle The Elder and The Shaper together, and finally discover what’s behind that chained door.

The true sign of a good game is one that can release in the video game avalanche that is November and still have people talking about it well into February. Mega Crit Games’ Slay the Spire is one such game. This cool blend of rogue-like RPG and collectible card game is as clever as it is charming and has been among Steam's best selling games for weeks now, but just glancing at screenshots of it in action might not leave much of an impression. Hopefully this piece will convince you why Slay the Spire is definitely worth paying attention to.

After five weeks and 60 matches, Stage 1 of the Overwatch League is over. It concluded with a finals that was over 10 hours (10 HOURS!!) of hair pulling, heart stopping, and heart breaking action I still haven't recovered from.

In a world where difficult platformers are having a bit of a renaissance, it can be tough to stand out among the likes of I Want to Be the Guy or Celeste. When you do, you have to be bold, different, and interesting outside of just being hair-pullingly frustrating. Team Trap may have found that balance in Swaps and Traps.

The life sim subgenre, made popular by games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, has seen a slight resurgence these past couple years with the success of Stardew Valley. Beth and Andy Korth, stewing on an idea for their own addition to the genre since 2014, would finally hunker down and give life to Verdant Skies, simultaneously a love letter to the games that have come before, and a trailblazer for the genre as it moves into the future.
